Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension

Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension is a cardiovascular and autonomic disorder characterized by a sustained reduction in blood pressure upon assuming an upright posture that results in clinical manifestations Defined hemodynamically as a drop of at least 20 mm Hg systolic or 10 mm Hg diastolic within three minutes of standing or head-up tilt testing, it arises from impaired baroreflex-mediated vasoconstriction, autonomic dysfunction, volume depletion, or medication effects The defining clinical ...
